That means the Mariners need a starter for Sunday's game in Houston and it figures to be Erasmo Ramirez (shoulder). King Felix didn't seem too thrilled about his demotion, telling reporters, "I got nothing to say." Obviously this is a tough pill to swallow for Hernandez, but the reality is, the right-hander just hasn't pitched well this year and the Mariners can't afford to lose games in the midst of a pennant race. The former Cy Young winner has never pitched out of the bullpen in his major league career.

Jhoulys Chacin delivered seven scoreless innings with a season-high 10 strikeouts Tuesday in the Brewers' 7-0 blanking of the Cubs.

Chacin gave up only three hits and two walks in the dominant afternoon outing at Wrigley Field as the Brewers gained a whole game on the Cubs in the National League Central standings. Chacin is now 12-4 on the season with a 3.72 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 119/55 K/BB ratio in 145 innings. He'll try to keep it all working in his next outing at home against the Reds on Monday.

Indians placed RHP Trevor Bauer on the 10-day disabled list with a small stress fracture in his right fibula.

Indians manager Terry Francona said there's no timetable yet on when Bauer might be able to return because the team is still gathering information about the injury. Bauer suffered the small lower-leg fracture when he was struck by a line drive in his last start Saturday against the White Sox. It's a tough blow, as the 27-year-old right-hander has broken out to the tune of a 2.22 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 214/56 K/BB ratio in 166 innings (25 starts) this season. Adam Plutko will fill his rotation spot.

Mark Trumbo (knee) is back in the Orioles' starting lineup Tuesday night against the Mets.

Trumbo will DH and bat cleanup after getting an injection in his balky right knee on Monday. The veteran slugger has been in a nice groove at the plate lately, with five home runs and 14 RBI over his last 14 games.

Wilson Ramos (hamstring) could join the Phillies as early as Wednesday.

Ramos is 4-for-9 with three doubles through three minor league rehab games at High-A Clearwater and has reported no issues with his left hamstring. The 30-year-old power-hitting catcher was acquired from the Rays on July 31 for a player to be named later. He had an .834 OPS with 14 home runs and 53 RBI through 78 games this season with Tampa Bay and should carry big-time fantasy value down the stretch.

Adrian Beltre (hamstring) is not in the Rangers' starting lineup Tuesday night against the Diamondbacks.

Beltre departed Monday night's series opener versus Arizona after experiencing discomfort in his left hamstring. He's already been on the disabled list twice this season with injuries to the same hamstring, and the veteran third baseman may need another extended absence. Jurickson Profar is starting at the hot corner and batting cleanup Tuesday against Diamondbacks left-hander Patrick Corbin.

Rays acquired RHP Shane Baz from the Pirates as the player to be named later in the Chris Archer trade.

This confirms a report from John Dreker of Pirates Prospects. The Rays already received outfielder Austin Meadows and right-hander Tyler Glasnow as part of the deal, but the player to be named later was expected to be a notable one. Baz, who was selected No. 12 overall last year, certainly qualifies. The 19-year-old owns a 3.91 ERA with 73 strikeouts over his first 69 innings in pro ball. He was one of Pittsburgh's best pitching prospects, so the Rays did very well in this deal.

Cano has officially completed his 80-game PED suspension and will be active for Tuesday's game against the Athletics. He's expected to have a roving role in his return to the club between second base, first base, and even third base. Cano hit .389 (7-for-18) with two homers and a double over five minor league rehab games.

Jay Bruce (hip) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Tuesday with High-A St. Lucie.

Bruce is expected to play right field on Tuesday before moving to first base on Wednesday. He's going to need some time to shake the rust, but the Mets also want to prepare him for his role after coming off the disabled list. Bruce has been out since mid-June with a right hip strain.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said following Monday's game that Brian Dozier will be sent for further testing after an EKG test for cardiac rhythms revealed "abnormalities."

This was after Dozier left Monday's game against the Giants due to dizziness. The Dodgers will obviously take every precaution before clearing him to return to game action. There should be more clarity on his status in the next couple of days.
